A couple of years ago, I went on a trip to Cambridge University and was told about this english gay who ate a poisened apple, for whatever reason, and that's where the inspiration came from for APPLE's logo, a apple without a chunk. I'm trying to find more information on the guy and failing at the moment but i'll keep trying.

The original hand drawn logo features Sir Isaac Newton, and one theory states that the symbol makes reference to his discoveries of gravity (the apple) and the separation of light by prisms (the colors). Another explanation exists that the bitten apple pays homage to the mathematician Alan Turing, who committed suicide by eating an apple he had laced with cyanide.[124] Turing is regarded as one of the fathers of the computer. The rainbow colors of the logo were rumored to be a reference to the rainbow flag, as a homage to Turing's homosexuality.

So seeing as it's an apple with a chunk missing, and someone's feet, could it be something revolving around Alan Turing?

Don't get my hopes up Martyn, they are prob going back to the US this time!

However, there is an apple store in Cambridge.

And your story reminds me of the mathematical bridge in Cambridge, which is meant to be designed by Newton and didn't use any nails, but then they took it apart and then couldn't figure out how to put it back together and so had to use nails. That could just be a myth though!

Zort - I keep forgetting to say thanks for the blog! It has enabled me to keep up on all developments while away. It helped me buy the Crash while I was on a work trip in Cambodia! That is dedication to the cause...Thanks for all your hard work on it!

I just Googled "feet with apple" and there is a picture from inside an Apple store on 5th ave in NYC. It is looking up through frosted glass at the bottom of people's feet standing above. I don't know how to link sorry.

This is kind of morbid, but the album is called "The Death of Adam", right? Apparently, back in September, Blink 182 (hosts of the frame six Fall Out Boy" concert) cancelled their New York concert to mourn the Death of Adam Goldstein (DJAM, host of frame one event)

I know the 4 toed statue is cool and all and I have been tempted to buy it on numerous occasions but keep telling myself, it doesn't sum up the awesomeness of the moment Sayid first pointed it out. Anyway, I struggle to see how this one has sold out over the dharma van or even the love triangle. All the posters seem to provoke thinking, except this one. Anyway, which will be the next to sell out then?

Also i'm kinda sad it isn't anything to do with Alan Turing, but at least I had a day thinking I had maybe solved one clue.

I would love to see a tie in with some YouTube videos like what was done for the release of The Death Of Adam.

Also, it looks like there was a connection with that album and Kanye West. I wonder if we had an extended delay because they had planned to do a reveal at Madison Square Garden this coming week, but his tour with Lady Gaga was canceled.

Tex...Sorry,but no blog for me.From site to site like a frog, i jump free.Across the WEB like J Apple Seed I Plant the idea, a mind can be freed.And while DJ Adam gave up the ghosta mass tribute where all give a toast,but with a marketing reveal?..seems rather gauche.

I probably wasted about an hour late last night looking for 88-keys information. I couldn't find any publicized events or showings. My impression is that he is a producer who wrote the songs for his album but they are performed by the different artists listed. Apparently, he and Kanye West are BFFs? I probably won't be much help on this one as my depth of knowledge on this area is embarassingly shallow.

I have been thinking about the location of the unveiling. The last winner of the big prize for the first order received a comic book (among other things). Damon is signing his book about comics at a comic bookstore on Wednesday evening in San Francisco. Interesting.....

Hmm. I was doing some more digging with 88 Keys. The only thing I could really find coming up is that they do have a song included on the new DJ Hero game that comes up in 2 weeks. They have had a big push at a couple of video game stores with demos this past weekend. I have heard that Best Buy would be doing this as well shortly, but I couldn't find info to back me up.

Sometimes Tyson's image clues are a direct link to artist reveal, i.e., DGPH's print image found in it's entirety at their website.

Sometimes Tyson's image clue is partial, ie., G4 bottom half of AOTS host. All images used are certainly by permission or designed specifically for this ARG.

We have located an image directly related to an artist named 88-Keys who's "The Death of Adam" album was played out with it's own viral marketing campaign. So I would think that 88-Keys is aware and possible part of this reveal.

Or, like the Vincent image, as MEL suggests reflects part of the location/reveal; dog = pet = pet store.

Frame 9 = dead body (Adam), feet without shoes and a poison apple.

A. Mille's letter suggests the use of rhyme to solve the puzzle and don't Bernie and Saffi have cute muzzles.

The 88 keys of the piano and the question of timeliness are certainly LOST themes as Jack, Faraday and Ben are all shown to have keyboard skillz.

@ReverendMilo - I'm just curious how you're (planning on) displaying your posters? You seem to be the resident expert on displaying artwork (at least well enough to be able to take a picture of it). What would you consider to be the best method of displaying these LOST posters?

Well, I am taking a very odd direction with the framing and display of the prints.

Right now, no framing is happening, I am keeping them stored until the last print is released. I am doing this for one simple reason - some prints may "work" together to be displayed together in one frame.

I could definitely pick a frame and matting for one of the prints right now, but then later down the road I might find that the print I had planned for the bedroom works better in the living room, and those two spaces need different types of frames in my house.

I do plan to double matte all of the prints with the top layer matte being cut to fit a tag (like a trophy plate)engraved with the print title and artist info. I will be spending an extra $4 per print to have the plates made at a local trophy shop, but a good framer typically wont charge extra for the 3 extra cuts they have to make to fit the tag.

When matting - check the "weight" of the matte for balance. The matte cut should be a bit closer to the top than the bottom. So if you have a 1 inch top border on your matte, the bottom border should be like 1.25 inches.

Here is my single best art tip - when people are looking at your art, if they don't understand the art, they look to the frame to help them decide if they should be impressed...

New to posting here, but have been following the blog since the release of the Van poster. Bought my first one last week, "The Hatch" but would own two more had I been on top of things sooner, (Locke and The Crash.)I was wondering if anyone knew how they were shipped. USPS, UPS, FedEx?

*bleep* *bleep* *bleep* This is test. For the next sixty seconds, this blog will conduct a test of the Emergency POSTER BUDDY system. If this had been an actual emergency, the Attention Signal you just read would have been followed by official information, news or instructions to contact your pre-determined Buddy link, twitter feed, or e-mail account. This concludes this test of the Emergency POSTER BUDDY System.*THUD*

Apple is rumored to be releasing updated versions of several of their Macs, including Macbooks. If I'm not mistaken, this event usually takes place at Apple Headquarters in California and could be within the next few days.

tol'ja singing would help :3 maybe this will be released as a podcast?like maybe 88 minutes or whatever will have something to download, and hidden in there will be the next URL~!!considering it's on a computer...
